Do any of you guys make the distinction in your mind about a car you'd love to have to drive versus one you'd have to collect? The collector never getting thrashed. A replica Cobra is a thrasher in my mind. A Cobra built by Mr. Shelby's original crew, that's another thing. At this point the cars are almost sacred. I've been trying to decide if my feelings of reluctance to thrash a car of limited production is a function of my limited funds or respect for the fact that I would not want to risk degrading it or worse yet, taking it out completely. The Ford GT is the kind of car you'd like generations that follow to be able to enjoy, like those original Cobras. A replica, for me, takes all of the responsibilities to those who come after me, away. They can burry me with the shards of my replica without guilt! So, you can put me down for the Ford GT, but I'm the guy who would not use it for it's intended purpose.
